So because I believe Climate Change is real and we should do something about, I'm supposed to have all the answers on how to fix it?
Why do you guys always do this? Do you even realize you're doing it? I suspect it's part of the programming. Everyone believes in climate change, bud. You're not a special snowflake. Some of us are very skeptical about the so called science behind AGW theory and the government hysteria that comes from it.

^5 dude...Anyone with an IQ higher than they're shoe size knows that climate change is real...here's a great response to the less informed. Tell them to go start they're car,let it run for a half hour..(you may need to pay for the gas,as they have to stand on a corner and beg due to low IQ's).Then tell them to pop the hood and put they're hand on the radiator.They might be smart enough not to do it,but why? "Well,its hot!".Imagine 300 million people in the US starting and driving a 250 degree engine around,well the air gets warm,never mind the pollution.You can't fix stupid.

Why do we do what? No one cares about natural climate change. Pretending like that is part of the conversation is just a distraction. If we say Climate Change or Global Warming, it means man made CC.
The better question is why you insist on making this distinction.
We are doomed...
Who gives a flying crap about "Global Warming"?
The fact we are on the verge of yet another WW how is any of this relevant?
Until then shut the hell up about it and try to do something about the EVIL warmongers that are intent on destroying this planet.
These evil war mongers, do they live on the planet too?
In Exxon’s case, the investigation will focus on any inconsistencies between the company’s knowledge of climate change – from its own in-house team of scientists and other experts – and its filings to the Securities Exchange Commission and other government regulatory agencies, the sources said.
“The fundamental question is whether they were misleading the public and investors by having financial reports inconsistent with what they knew to be the science,” the sources said. “It could include the funding of climate denial science. It could involve funding straight science that showed the impact of climate change.”

Actually talking about the climate always changing is a red herring. No one cares about that argument. To bring it up in response to a global warming argument is just a distraction and does nothing to prove your point. Just standard climate denier rhetoric.
You know what would be actually SANE coming from a climate denier? Actually getting the evidence and refuting it instead of just declaring that believing in global warming is insane.
ExxonMobil, the world’s biggest oil company, knew as early as 1981 of climate change – seven years before it became a public issue, according to a newly discovered email from one of the firm’s own scientists. Despite this the firm spent millions over the next 27 years to promote climate denial.

The OP fails the Darwin test, lets hope enough of us are proactive enough to avoid this fate.

Youtube is the absolute worst source of evidence. I make a habit of not watching video evidence posted by people. Why should I respond to video evidence? I only care about actual DATA, not what some dude who owns a camcorder thinks about climate change.

(psst. Population increase = more C02 as countries industrialize and burn more fossil fuels, eat more animals, clear cut more forests...)

Yes, yes I think everyone gets that the world is going through a climate change.
Why?
Because the world has always been going through a climate change, it is either going into or leaving a ice age.
It is either getting hotter or getting colder.
The world is alive and can do enough damage on its own.
No one, I think, is denying that the earth's climate is constantly changing and, yes - sea levels rise and fall over time and new continents are uncovered and older ones covered up as the plates rise and fall and the ice builds up at the poles or melts.
However, to say that this is really man's fault and that we should pay a tax to stop it is over-reaching and insane.
